Is the violin supposed to represent his weenie?

Trump just wanted to retweet people and see his idiocy get retweeted. His blog failed to provide the reward he was after so it was doomed to only last a few scaramuccis at most.

What song?

"Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC.

Or one of the following...

Ella Fitzgerald - Cry Me A River
The Doors - The End
Metallica - Fade To Black
Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack
Green Day - Good Riddance

And finally...

The Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up

Facebook has extended former President Donald Trump's suspension for two years and says it will only reinstate him "if the risk to public safety has receded."

The decision comes after Facebook's Oversight Board told the company it had been wrong to impose an indefinite ban on Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Facebook says it is setting new rules for public figures in times of civil unrest and violence, "to be applied in exceptional cases such as this." Trump has received the maximum penalty under those rules, "given the gravity of the circumstances" leading to his suspension. Because the company took his Facebook and Instagram accounts down on Jan. 7, the two-year suspension will last until at least Jan. 7, 2023.

At that point, Facebook will consult experts and "evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest," said Nick Clegg, vice president of global affairs, in a statement.

"If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded," Clegg said.

When Trump is allowed to return, he will be subject to "a strict set of rapidly escalating sanctions" — up to a permanent ban — that will kick in if he continues to break Facebook's rules.

Facebook's decision "is an insult to the record-setting 75M people, plus many others, who voted for us," Trump said in an emailed statement, misstating the number of votes he received in the 2020 presidential election. (It was just over 74 million votes.) He also continued his baseless attacks on the legitimacy of the election.

"They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country can't take this abuse anymore!" he said.

Facebook's decision was also derided by left-leaning civil rights and tech watchdog groups who hoped it would permanently ban Trump.

"This decision only goes to underline the enormous, unchecked power of Facebook and its repeated failure to police its platform," a coalition calling itself the Real Facebook Oversight Board said in a statement.

"Donald Trump and his allies used Facebook to incite an insurrection and attempted coup of the United States Government. The punishment: Back on Facebook just in time for Trump 2024, with no explanation at all why a two-year ban, or what the criteria is for determining his status when the ban expires."
